  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My husband And I want to sell a motorhome which has let us down mechanically so many times. At the present it is working after getting yet again fixed.
Anyone who contacts us we feel obliged to morally tell them about the fault, though on paper, it is working. We Know it would break down after a long journey.One couple wanted to your abroad for 6 months, many have small children. How could we not be honest.
Our consciences are clear.
Of course nobody wants the van now.
We feel as followers of Christ we are doing what pleases Him.
Sadly a family member who was going to help us sell van absolutely was furious with us and called us idiots for being honest. They actually walked out of our home and we are shocked at his reaction.
We don't mind losing money on van. Our faith is more important than deceiving people any gaining money.

Look at it a different way.. A God told Abrahams wife "whats do hard for the lord"? He will send someone that wants it.. can use it. There is NOTHING to hard for your Father.. for all things are possible to them that believe.

Now....what will .. for a lack of words.. kill it is if one talked like "pffft.. we have to be honest.. we love JESUS.." :) NOT saying you did that. So.. pray together agree and if just 2 shall agree.. your Father what? "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven

And you don't even need a faith to
"Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."
Any excuse is a good one.
